Chapter 5 Give You an Epic Gift

Striding into the living room on his long legs, Maverick went over to Natasha and helped her up atonce.

Then, he turned his eyes to Gwendolyn, his gaze brimming with grimness and disappointment. “Iinitially thought you’d behave after our divorce, but I never expected you to still resort to such adespicable tactic.

It makes me sick. I had actually planned to transfer this mansion to your name, but from the looks ofthings, that’s no longer necessary.”

“Don’t blame Gwendolyn, Mave. She only pushed me accidentally because I made her mad. It was myfault, so admonish me instead.”

Natasha leaned against his chest with guilt written all over her face, her sobs pitiable andheartbreaking. When she stole a glance at Gwendolyn out of the corner of her eye, however, her gazecarried a hint of pride and triumph.

A layer of frost blanketed Maverick’s face, and he said to Gwendolyn in a commanding tone,“Apologize to Tasha immediately, right this moment.”

Tsk-tsk, he wants me to apologize to her?

A spark of anger flickered within Gwendolyn.

Alternating her gaze between the loving couple, she beamed from ear to ear. Then, she gently tuggedat Natasha, who was in Maverick’s arms.

I thought she’d be livid and argue, but unexpectedly, she’s still smiling?

Puzzlement showed on Natasha’s face. Not quite comprehending Gwendolyn’s exact plan, she wasmomentarily dazed, allowing the latter to pull her over.

Slap!

“Ahh!”

A shriek far more piercing than the one earlier split the air. With a hand cradling her swollen face,Natasha fell onto the ground hard.

Gwendolyn put all her strength into the slap, so much so that her palm was a touch numb. Hence, thepain Natasha endured this time was definitely excruciating.

Even then, Gwendolyn wore a smile on her face, and it was surprisingly detached to boot. She didn’tlook at all like the instigator who hit someone.

As she stared down at Natasha on the ground, her voice was incredibly gentle. “Since you claimed thatI picked on you, how could I have helped you affirm my misdeed if I hadn’t slapped you?”

With tears shimmering in her eyes, Natasha sat on the ground feebly, whimpering softly.

Meanwhile, Maverick had never expected Gwendolyn to have the guts to get physical right before him.Thus, he forgot to help Natasha up immediately.

Wearing a dark look on his face, he glowered at Gwendolyn threateningly. “Not only did you fail toapologize, but you even took things further! Are you testing my limit?”

“You’re regarding yourself too highly, Mr. Wright.”

Gwendolyn waved a hand profusely, the grin on her face growing increasingly wider.

“We were once married, so I’ll give you an epic gift before I leave.”

While speaking, she took out a thick stack of paper from her bag and tossed it at the man’s face.

Countless pieces of white paper fluttered in the air.

Maverick reached out and snagged one, only to see a copy of a text message filled with insults andtaunts, sounding arrogant beyond words. When his eyes scanned over the sender’s unidentified phonenumber, shock inundated him.

Flipping it over, he saw proof of the truth behind the incident of him being drugged the night before. Theevidence was solid, and it all pointed to Natasha as the culprit.

In a flash, his brows knitted together. He swung his eyes at Natasha on the ground, a terrifying look inthem.

Coincidentally, Natasha had just finished skimming through the contents of the paper. Her face drainedof all color.

Indeed, she was the one who had someone spike Maverick’s wine. In fact, she even phoned the manand told him to go to the hotel to look for her. Little did she expect that the driver would mistakenly sendhim back to the mansion, and her plan would end up benefitting Gwendolyn.

Hopping mad, she texted Gwendolyn to rub salt into her wound.

Regretfully, never had she imagined that Gwendolyn would dare confront her openly in such a manner.

Oh God, what would Maverick think of me?

Without waiting for her to justify herself, Gwendolyn had already picked up her packed suitcase. Beforeleaving, she took one last look at the man she once loved deeply.

“Remember this, Maverick Wright—I’m not the one who’s divorced and abandoned. Instead, it’s you! Idon’t want you anymore, nor is the Wright family worthy of me!”
